The baby will be 21-year-old Jacqueline's first child. Dan, 23, already has an eight-month-old son Teddy, with his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin.

The couple released a statement via their spokesperson saying: "We're thrilled by our news."

Dan has said: “Becoming a father has been the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. I can't believe I'm going to be dad again - I'm truly blessed.”

"Everyone at EastEnders is thrilled for Jacqueline," said a spokesman for the BBC soap.

Jacqueline and Dan have had an on off relationship for the past year, and finally confirmed they were together in July, when Dan revealed he was in love with Jacqueline in an episode of The Only Way Is Essex.

When questioned by Arg, Elliot and Tom about his relationship with Jacqueline he said:

"Yeah I would definitely say I was in love and I don't believe in throwing that word around, but I am happier than I've ever been."

Black Eyed Peas singer, FERGIE, says her 11 month-old-son, Axl, has taken his first steps, but that her husband, JOSH DUHAMEL, missed the event.

She told Us Weekly that Axl is trying to walk, and she described how she saw him tackling some stairs: "He just had his first steps. I was shocked. He climbed up the stairs and he climbed back down. I was helping him back down and he got up the stairs and he [stretched out his arms] and came to me.”

Fergie said:"[Josh] was at work. I felt so bad. But you know, we're both working parents so each of us are going to get different gifts.”

Actor CHRISTIAN BALE is celebrating the arrival of his second child, a boy, with his wife Sibi. The Batman star is already dad to nine-year-old daughter.

E! News reported that the British-born star and his wife, Sibi Blažić, confirmed the news through a representative.

Christian is notoriously guarded when it comes to his family life. He has never publicly confirmed his nine-year-old daughter's name, although she is believed to be called Emmeline.

In 2005, he told a Guardian news reporter in an interview that he planned to have children 'at some point'. Emmeline was then born 11 days later.

The 40-year-old actor has never publicly confirmed that a second baby was on its way.

Christian met Sibi on the set of Little Women in 1994, while she was working as Winona Ryder's personal assistant. They married in 2000 after eloping to Las Vegas.
